 	I am new to this as well, so I don't have a good answer. My guess 
is that you might just order the maps and collect money informally. A less 
risky way might be to get the money together first and then order the maps 
after. Do we need the maps ASAP?

 	Another question was raised by Sean: does Elections Canada also 
provide electronic (maybe PDF?) versions of the maps as well? Do we need 
to pay separately from them?

 	Are the Elections Canada riding boundaries identical to the 
Elections Ontario ones? I thought they were but I have not confirmed this.

 	We need to discuss this. There are some tricky issues to deal with 
with respect to campaign funding and spending limits, and what accounting 
we need to keep track of to do this.
